The iconic red swimsuits are returning to television. Fox has officially greenlit a reboot of the classic series Baywatch, set to premiere in the 2026-2027 season. This highly anticipated revival, coming nearly three decades after the original, promises a modernized and grittier take on the lives of Southern California’s most famous lifeguards.
The new series, from original creator Michael Berk, will introduce a new generation of characters. Fox Entertainment and Fremantle are slated to co-produce the reboot which will see it begin with a 12-episode order. While the cast has not yet been announced, the show’s logline suggests a focus on real-world issues, from mental health to diversity, “Daring ocean rescues, pristine beaches, and iconic red bathing suits are back, along with a whole new generation of Baywatch lifeguards, who navigate complicated, messy personal lives in this action-packed reboot that demonstrates there’s the family you’re born into and the family you find.” The show’s tone is a departure from the lighthearted action of the original, with a focus on a more dramatic and authentic portrayal of life on the beach.
Michael Thorn, President of Fox Television Network said in a statement, “In its first run, Baywatch defined an entire era of beach life and elevated lifeguards to an iconic status. Now, with our partners at Fremantle, this television juggernaut is set for a modern-day comeback. Together, Fox and Fremantle, along with Matt Nix and original co-creator Greg Bonann, will bring the California dream to a whole new generation of fans with fresh stories, rising stars and all the spectacle that make the Baywatch franchise a global sensation.”
The return of Baywatch is a major event for television, proving that networks are still keen on reviving classic shows for a new audience. The new rebooted series is set to arrive next year on Fox.
